New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 1968 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

A Firehouse Subs just opened up across from my gym today (Fml) and as an opening day promotion they're giving away a free medium sub, chips, and drink per customer. Only been here once before. I went with the New York Steamer, add onions peppers pepperoncinis and black olives. Hold the mayo. Decent order or did I **** up?

Depends on if you liked it ldo

The steamer is my first choice at Firehouse. Never really added anything to it tho.

Has there ever been a moment where she said or did something super cheap and you even rolled your eyes or tried to stop her? And if that moment happened could you please regale us with that story?

She's not really like that. It's more that she will just not buy things that she doesn't need. Where I'm the guy that puts the HoHo's in the shopping cart. She'll also snip coupons (more so in the old days) or will load digital coupons onto her shopping card.

We're a damn awesome match.

Bighurt and Malucci are the co-MVP's of FF, and Mark_K is the subchampion of FF value (and probably every other type of value around).

I'm just like anybody else, I eat my cheeseburgers one at a time.

Actually, that makes me unlike Malucci!

It wasn't the most value play, but I ate 5 Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers from Dave's and I'll do it again in an instant.

Strong.

Sometimes value has to take a back seat to SAVAGERY.

and 2/3 the price. This is the main reason I stopped buying the Banquet stuff. It's just too expensive compared to other options.

For me, the frozen works out cheaper because I can cook up 2 or 3 pieces at a time.

Piggy has done that Banquet-Walmart fried chicken comparison several times now. Of all his extremely wrong positions on fast food, this may be the absolute wrongest. Which is really saying something!

i dont recall how walmart does it but that was my first job 11 years ago... i do recall that it was about 30 minutes of frying for the 8pc tho. but another grocery store around here (Weis) uses raw chicken and batters themselves. its not as good

GF is from Seattle so we went up there this weekend to visit her parents (good timing with the massive snowstorm). She loves Taco Time and we ended up hitting it up on the way out of town and I can easily say it was the worst FF I have ever had. Everything was bland and disgusting. I mean that place made me miss Taco Bell ! No clue how everyone from PNW loves that place, never again.

Taco Time is complete garbage (except for the crustos). It makes Taco Bell look like Mexican street food

There’s that one thing at Taco Time that’s decent...like a crispy beef burrito I think? There’s one in Vegas and I tried it because of the thread, and that item was all right but yeah, nothing worthy of love.
